Miss me?
Yeah, didn’t think so.
In case you’re wondering NOW where I’ve been…(y’know, now that I’ve brought it up, and now that you feel guilty for not thinking about me at all for a week)…I’m feeding a new addiction.
Laugh of the Day
A friend (thanks, pea!) just told me about
The Banterist – original humor by Brian Sack
…and I damn near wet myself just now as I read it!
(No, I don’t have an incontinence problem. It’s just that funny. )
I mean, really – a Psychic Pediatrician? GENIUS!!!
(Says the mother of an almost three year old…)
Take a break and check it out.
Free Music Alert!
NPR has a link for a free download of ten songs by artists from the South by Southwest Music Festival. (Thanks for the heads up, faith. You’re awesome.)
(And if you don’t know about SxSW…quickly but carefully extricate yourself from beneath the rock under which you obviously live and go HERE. Sheese.)
I’m listening right now, and have fallen IN LOVE with Blitzen Trapper. ‘Furr’ = love, y’all…*sigh*…LOVE this song!
Go. Get yours. Then come back and tell me which one YOU love…
Soundtrack Shuffle in Pictures
…or, “how I’m avoiding housework this afternoon”.
1.) Spanish Guitar: Los Lobos w/ Antonio Banderas
Desperado Soundtrack
Yeah – when he smacked that guy with the guitar and then picked the hairs off?
Classic.
2.) Mahalia Jackson: Walk in Jerusalem
Divine Sisters of the Ya Ya Sisterhood Soundtrack
(Only playlist.com didn’t have it, so you get this one -which I love almost equally.)
Mahalia Jackson: Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
3.) The English Beat: Mirror in the Bathroom
Grosse Point Blank Soundtrack
Know what I don’t like about this movie, or this soundtrack?
Not a damn thing.
4.) Nick Lowe: The Beast in Me
Sopranos Soundtrack
Back in the beginning…when EVERYONE watched it.
5.) Meow Mix Commercial
(Call it a “palate cleanser”, because…)
6.) Johnny Cash: The Beast in Me
(Because I like this version way better.)
7.) Matt Damon: My Funny Valentine
The Talented Mr. Ripley Soundtrack
Was this a creepy damn movie or what? Creepy, but really good. It was a toss up between
this or “Tu vo fa l’Americano”. I flipped a coin.
8.) Elvis Costello and the Attractions: Everyday I Write the Book
The Wedding Singer Soundtrack
“BECAUSE I HAVE THE MICROPHONE, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!!!”
Bwahahahahahaha.
.
9.) Oompa Loompas: Oompa Loompa Song
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Soundtrack
These are just good words to live by.
